Judge Nicholas Garaufis granted the 11-year prison term for fraudster David Gotterup (pictured).

A Brooklyn federal judge shaved almost four years off the prison sentence of a fraudster who had complained the jurist had been too tough when first imposing a 15-year prison term.

Judge Nicholas Garaufis imposed the 11-year term on David Gotterup Wednesday. This was after Garaufis had slammed Gotterup in March with a 15-year sentence for running a mortgage modification scam that bilked distressed homeowners out of more than $3.5 million.

Gotterup’s father, Bruce, was gunned down in a 1991 gangland murder, where he was shot as payback over drug deals at a Queens bar controlled by the Gambino crime family.

David Gotterup said in the years following the rub out, he had to grow up fast to steer a family ravaged by the murder and trial publicity. In March, Garaufis noted Gotterup’s “compelling and terrible” past.
